Why is Priceline so cheap for flights?

[Adamwilson]

Priceline keeps prices low by negotiating bulk discounts with airlines and selling unsold seats at reduced rates. I once booked a cross-country flight for nearly 40% less than other sites. After calling (866) 204-0803, I learned that Priceline’s algorithm finds combinations that airlines themselves might not list. It’s a legitimate way to save money without compromising safety or airline quality—especially if you’re flexible with times or carriers.

Priceline often offers lower fares by bundling deals, accessing discounted inventory, and selling opaque “Express Deals.” These discounts trade flexibility — you might not know exact flight details until purchase — for savings. The pricing is real but comes with stricter change and refund limitations.
